Kitchens are the heart of our homes. We experience wonderful moments between the smell of fresh coffee, the aromas of various herbs and freshly prepared cakes that smell of cinnamon and sugar. Stories that our children bring home from school are told here.
All of this happens in large kitchen-living rooms as well as in kitchens in the smallest of spaces. And that’s what our ideas book will be about today.

1. Modular kitchens
Happyhomes
Visit ProfileWe'll start with a simple but popular example for kitchen lovers. Modular kitchens are extremely practical for people who have to move frequently, for example, students, trainees or project managers. The kitchen blocks with individual pieces of furniture, stove or dishwasher or open shelves can be easily integrated into new rooms when moving. And that's what makes them so popular. They look good, they do!
2. Kitchens with dining area
RAFAEL SARDINHA ARQUITETURA E INTERIORES
Visit ProfileA small kitchen is no reason not to be able to integrate a bar. Quite the opposite: because you kill two birds with one stone and gain a dining area and a work surface at the same time. A kitchen planner can help you implement your wishes.
3. Kitchens with a wow factor

Visit ProfileThis beautifully designed space looks more like an artist's studio than a kitchen, right? But at least cooking has something to do with art, as the result is a dish made from many ingredients.
4. U-shaped design
raumdeuter GbR Berlin
Visit ProfileWhen we are dealing with enclosed spaces, U-shaped kitchens are always one of the best ways to maximize space. This gives us enough space to move freely in the middle of the kitchen and also to the sides.
5. Deluxe storage space
When we consider the issue of storage space in small kitchens, this example is a must! Rarely have we seen so many possibilities in such a small space. Everything, absolutely everything that belongs in the kitchen was stored here. Even the wine bottles are stored on the side.
6. Bright kitchens
Home Staging Sylt GmbH
Visit ProfileNeutral or light kitchens are beautiful in both eat-in kitchens and small formats. Because they visually give us the illusion of more space than there is. Together with a large window, we not only always have plenty of light in the room, but we can also ventilate well after cooking. This prevents bad smells from sneaking into other rooms.
7. Minimalist design

Visit ProfilePuristic design always gives the impression of cleanliness and elegance. With regular care, they impress us with a fresh look that puts you in a good mood.
8. Hidden kitchens
MILL-HOUSE
Visit ProfileCurtain up for this kitchen: A great idea for people who need to fit everything in one room. However, this kitchen is almost too good to hide, right?
9. A little bit of everything, please!
Ossigeno Architettura
Visit ProfileWe can also combine different styles in kitchens – just like here a modern kitchen meets an old stone wall. Great!
10. Pretty rustic
RI-NOVO
Visit ProfileThis is probably the opposite of minimalist design. But as we can see, original kitchens can also be very cosy and not at all bulky in the smallest of spaces. The old-fashioned stove is an eye-catcher.
11. Colourful kitchens
Hiruki studio
Visit ProfileThis kitchen puts you in a good mood! Colourful designs look great. However, we should make sure that we have defined the exact colour spectrum before implementing it. Otherwise, it seems more chaotic than harmonious.
12. Elegance
Espacios y Luz Fotografía
Visit ProfileWe create an extraordinary look with unusual materials, such as the stools here with a transparent seat. The backlit shelf in the kitchen area is also elegant, making an ordinary storage space suddenly appear very mysterious.
13. Wooden kitchens
José Tiago Rosa
Visit ProfileToday's wooden kitchens often have a very reduced, clean look that distracts from nothing except the dishes and drinks that we can enjoy at the small bar on minimalist stools.
14. Rustic and charming
Ferraro Habitat
Visit ProfileWhat a rustic kitchen! Despite the flexible kitchen modules, the room exudes an original cosiness. To create space, the open shelves on which the dishes can be stored were simply offset on a second wall – and conveniently close to the dining table.
15. Retro design kitchens
ARQ_IN
Visit ProfileThe retro design gives kitchens unusual colours, patterns and shapes. The highlight of this small kitchen is certainly the yellow refrigerator. But the hanging lights above the bar also have a great design. In keeping with the retro look, there are stools with covers in orange, which was classic for this time.
16. Sophisticated!
homify
Visit ProfileThis kitchen focuses on absolute nobility! The combination of marble, stylish built-in cupboards and ceiling lighting that surrounds the room make this kitchen a particularly elegant place.
17. Small kitchens are very practical
Idea Interior
Visit ProfileThe most important thing in every kitchen is that we feel comfortable and can cook without stress. A kitchen has to be practical – no matter how much you value good design. This design does both, we believe.
18. Fresh breeze
Idea Interior
Visit ProfileColours influence the look of kitchens like nothing else. This design is like a breath of fresh air blowing through the room. When it comes to strong colours, we should be aware that they will accompany us for many years.
19. Cabin Charm
Cottage Style / コテージスタイル
Visit ProfileThis kitchen must make us feel like we are on vacation. After a long hike, we settle down here and cook a nice meal together. And at the same time, we enjoy nature outside!
20. Contrasts
Pulse Arquitetura
Visit ProfileCompletely different styles or harsh contrasts can look simply stunning in kitchens – as long as we stick to one constant that runs like a common thread through the concept. In our example, it is the colour black that brings everything together.
21. Between tradition and modernity
architektur-photos.de
Visit ProfileThis kitchen also impressively shows that a break in style between two completely different ways of living can work. Here a very original and rustic design meets the most modern stainless steel look, which is almost reminiscent of a commercial kitchen.
22. Industrial look
Propia
Visit ProfileAnd here too we see another contrast that is possible. The industrial design of the apartment with exposed wiring and pipes as well as an old brick wall goes perfectly with the more classic kitchen with an old gas stove.
23. Space for recipes
Анна Теклюк
Visit ProfileIf we still have a piece of wall free in our small kitchen, chalkboard paint is a great idea to decorate the room – in our case with recipes and dried herbs. But messages and shopping lists can also be immortalized here.
24. The lighting
Pink Pug Design Interior
Visit ProfileWhether small or large: lighting plays an important role in every kitchen. If we want to prepare food, there should be strong light. It doesn't always have to be a boring ceiling light! Let's let our ideas run wild.
25. Get blue!
Мастерская дизайна ЭГО
Visit ProfileWe can certainly do that in a relaxed manner in this kitchen. Who wouldn’t want to sit here and drink a nice macchiato?
26. Great shelf for microwaves and mini ovens
If you are still looking for a perfect place for your microwave, you will like this option: a shelf that creates additional storage space and keeps all your cooking utensils neatly organized. Of course, you can also purchase two of these shelves!
Extra: Classic kitchens
Алёна Демшинова
Visit ProfileThe last example should belong to a very classic kitchen. Even small kitchens can be very classic. Our tip: Don't use colours that are too dark and pay a lot of attention to lighting. The curtains also fit.
The best kitchen ideas combined
Raumgedanken
Visit ProfileAfter reading the numerous tips for an attractive use and design for the small kitchen, you probably have a few “small kitchen ideas” floating around in your head, as well as questions about how to implement them. Do you like multiple styles and different tips? Or do you have a limited budget for your small corner kitchen and don't want to change or spend everything at once?
Don't worry: This example of a cosy kitchen shows that you don't have to decide: you can set up your small kitchen however you like it best. This kitchen has a small kitchenette, uses every corner of the small space for storage space and is particularly impressive because of the combination of wood, white and colour. All the kitchen utensils you need can easily be stored. Rustic elements – for example in the form of the brick wall – are present as well as the modern elements of the kitchen fronts.
If you would like professional help, a kitchen planner can support you with the planning and implementation.
